That is why when Trump ran the first time he said he loves the uneducated. He really does, because they are the only ones that fall for his BS. I was so disappointed in his announcement today.
My favorite! Well, one of them anyway LOL π
If that person has the capacity to use logic and reasoning, they are able to think critically, and they are able to resist being brainwashed. If I wasn't so busy being angry at MAGAS, I would feel sorry for them.
Well, my great-great aunt was a bearded lady in a circus lol
Now you're really going back π Too many to count on this end lol
I said this to many people before ... if it's online, I don't trust it. I TRY to verify every single time if I can or want to at the time. It's not always easy.
elected anyway. His sentencing was put on hold, and then he arbitrarily dismissed the case against him. They cannot hold him accountable now. He just throws money at his convictions, and they mysteriously go away with payoffs. By refusing aid to other countries, he's killed more people than most.
I heard Vance talking about wanting to be president, how he's ready to be president. The US has a history of VPs running for President. I hope neither do. I also heard Trump's son is going to run, or even Ivanka. I notice she's nowhere to be seen this time around. We prosecuted him, and he got
Hence, the reason their pictures were put there ... inspiration for this particular version of the song
She was just cool like that. Very demanding though. I prefer my mothers to allow a certain bit of freedom lol
That was season 2. All of the rest were written normally. For season two, there were shorter episodes, and they rehashed dialogue from the previous season. They also found scripts from other Star Trek-related shows. It lasted 154 days only lol
That's why you don't really have a lot of people still playing it, unlike Minecraft ... that game cannot seem to die lol
After all, look at the Native Americans and the way they were here long before Christians ever came to this soil. They had faith in the Creator. They had to give to each other to survive; instead of using money, they traded. Hope was always there. No hope, no life in any country.
to have faith in the old gods. You must give when you can and even have offerings to gods, as well as give to each other. Hope ... that is what giving to gods was for ... hope for a better future. None of that is founded in the Christian faith. It was here long before they were.
I don't see the Western countries as "Christian" but a rip off of the old pagan ways, which were actually a bit more in line with how we should be, instead of following the Bible. I don't believe in a bunch of gods, but I see how Christianity is kind of a rip-off of pagan morals and virtues. You had
ressurected before the story of Christ's or even Lazarus's resurrection. The idea of an immortal soul that survives death, present in ancient Egyptian and Babylonian beliefs, was merged into Christian thought from Greek philosophy. Even the cross is shared with the older Ankh and Celtic cross.
Pagans offered bread and wine to initiates, and Christians had the Eucharist/Communion, which seemed to be integrated from the pagans ... certainly wasn't the Jews lol Pagan stories influenced the stories told about the Saints who took their gods' places. Ishtar and Tammuz were pagans that were
of yourself. Christians couldn't even convert without bringing pagan symbolism into their religion; integrating holidays, symbols, and even certain rituals were integrated into their services. Baptism was similar to ancient pagan purification rites, in which they were cleansed in water.
I get that people think charity, faith, and hope are Christian values, but they were pagan values LONG before they were Christian ones, and I'm more of a pagan. Christians taught that you sin and are never good enough. Pagans are different. Sin isn't a thing, and you just try to be the best version
The young black bear died in Georgia of an overdose. The cocaine caused a cerebral hemorrhage, respiratory failure, hyperthermia, renal failure, heart failure, and stroke before dying. One of the smugglers, Thornton, didn't open his chute in time and was found dead in Knoxville, Tenn.
He didn't stay long, so it went well. My son said he had been fighting all day, so at least he was calmer over here. He's taken to seeing and talking to something here. He even threw something at it, but we just aren't sure who/what it was.
You used to see that in every bar over here. Now you're hard pressed to find a copy anywhere lol
That's the great thing about art ... it's purely subjective. I don't consider brick walls art in the classic sense, even if I would rather look at a brick wall than some people's gardens lol
Didn't you just love those visual effects? I love seeing the blood spurting out like someone with a thumb over a hose lol
I've seen the Huntsmen pics ... and other Australian species of spiders and other creatures that seem they are ginormous lol You can keep your speedy spiders lol Everything else, I don't mind lol
family. If you don't have your rent, he'll pay it. If you need your car worked on, he'll do it. If you want to go out to dinner, he'll pay for it. My husband said he's never seen such a big-hearted person who was so damned hateful towards POC and the LGBTQIA comm. It is his only redeeming quality.
no longer friends. I still have him as a contact, and him us, but no ... not considered a friend. Some are really good at hiding who they really are, and even when they let it slip, they have such a long past by that point that they love you anyway. At least over here. It's like my brother helping
We spent 5 nights per week nearly around each other for hours on end, and never did he show his true colors. It wasn't until Trump ran the first time that he began using the N word. Then he would speak about all minorities. He would begin each conversation with, "As a cop, I see the REAL ___!" We're
holocaust" kind of person. I mean that is the way others looked at him. I knew him better, but there are people you can be around for years and never hear them say a word about things to know that is what they're like. My cop friend was like that. In 30 years, he had never said the N word, not once.
any longer. I had some of those friends over for years, and they didn't realize how much he hated POC or the LGBTQIA community, THEN they questioned him. When they stopped coming around, he figured that they no longer liked him. He was literally that "the really cool uncle, but don't mention the
friends. They saw the man who drank and smoked weed, telling tall tales about all the screwed up and messed-up things he and his friends got into. He would drive really fast and act like a man-child. They loved it. Once he was exposed for the racist and bigoted person he was, they weren't my friend
See. that's just it ... everyone loved my dad, UNTIL racism and bigotry. My friends loved coming over to spend the night because of my dad. They all said he was fun, but I only ever brought over white people. My black friends and Mexican friends weren't allowed in the house. Still, my dad was fun to
Love it myself π Not many I know have even heard of The The, let alone listen to their music lol Completely underrated!

That's why eventually my hubby and I will be moving back to Ireland. Too many people feel and think the way Trump does here.
All I ever hear anymore is how everyone takes what Trump says out of context ... it gets a bit tiring lol
If you knew me face to face or IRL, you would totally get that for me LOL
He's played in many roles that many people don't even realize. He's one actor I wish could be in future films that won't get to. Alan Rickman is another one. Certain actors just hit me the right way I guess you could say.
No! I guess that would be considered boring by their standards and not something that would be Pulitzer prize winning or something that would be a Miles Franklin Literary Award.
Protecting his ass is only secondary because he has a way of doing whatever he wants regardless of the law. I think he realizes that with enough money he is above the law. In this country he's about the law at least. I wish some other country would prosecute him LOL
youtu.be/LoZSxK2U-b0?...
I like them all but I see why Frakes would have gotten on your nerves. There was something just not genuine about him. I liked all the rest, especially Q, but there's a history there that is too long to go into here LOL suffice to say, Q holds a place in our family's heart LOL
The World of Warcraft, yes! It was fun in its time. I haven't seen it in a long time though.
A different country and different era.
Practicing. However, I have had many friends and many different areas of life that agree I am nothing of a Christian when all I have ever done my entire life is piss them off. My Native American friends think I am more them than I am Christian. Often, I have been told that I should have been born in
When it comes to the word christian, I see it two ways. One way is a religious practice, and the other way is the practical defining aspect of being a follower of christ. I do not worship Jesus, nor do I believe in him. There are many aspects of his teachings in the Bible that I think are worthy of
Which wasn't even filmed here and wasn't even remotely close to the truth LOL of course, bears are dangerous and people would be stupid to walk up to pet them. Still, I fucking love their cute cuddly look
Thank you and he's on his way over with the grandson for a little bit. Wish me luck LOL
Lmao π€£ Well, to be a bit more fair, the US is a fraction of the age of the countries in Europe. After all, Italy is over 1,800 years old. The US? The US does have Wood, Harper, Warhol, Seurat, Pollock, Vermeer, O'Keefe, Rockwell, Segal, Sargent, Whistler, Cassatt, and more. Art has no border.
I like Ash V the Evil Dead too. My husband was only mildly amused. It's amazing how people can bring their money to the production of a film and change the outcome. They were all pretty low budget though LOL
Oh yeah it does! That wee widdle bear looks so cute and pretty π How could anyone be scared of that precious animal LOL
That's the problem with people who have so much hate in them, it always comes out to people that are like-minded. They don't know how to do anything but hate. I do appreciate the sympathy though.
I always loved Tim Curry's acting. He was brilliant! If you've never watched a TV show called "Psych," you should at least watch the one episode Tim Curry is in. "American Duos" Psych: Season 2, Episode 1. He's hilarious in it, even if his character is extremely hated lmao
I thought so too lol
Another Australian friend told me about the counter-protestors. Not one article covered it that I found, though I did find a video of them, but it still painted them from a weak perspective, like there wasn't much of one. In the days of phones being everywhere, you'd think there would be more.
Trump is simple. He is motivated by greed. His actions start with "How will this get me what I want" and not "How will this help the American people?" He is the easiest president in the world to figure out. He wants money, more and more of it, and will do whatever he can to make as much as possible.
I always loved it, and I love the Irish rebel song that was made using the music, a classic for me.
Awww, there was plenty of great dialogue on the show lol I'm a Trek fan, but I liked all of the shows nearly. I didn't like Enterprise, and yes, almost everyone else did. There's something about Bakula that gets on my nerves.
We have Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, and the Tamriel pack for the online Skyrim games. I've played them all. Skyrim was the best, in my opinion. I don't do online gaming anymore. I don't like the fact that you MUST be online, paying to play, and paying for the game too. It's crazy. We don't do Live.
Also, I use Christian theology and biblical verses to argue points to those claiming to be Christians. I myself am not one.
Well, I'm not a Christian, and I don't believe in antichrists, but if there were going to be one, it couldn't be him. The antichrist, biblically speaking, must be charismatic, a leader, someone who can convince nations to rise, not individual people. He's a minion of the devil in that case lol
Yes ... I was just in a comical mood that day. Today, not so much. This is probably one of my worst days in a long time. I'm still trying to keep it very much together, though. I have a son who has a birthday today ... I must be in a chipper mood π
them both, but nothing beats the OG lol The newest one, I felt the same. I wasn't going to watch it. I just watched it a couple of weeks ago, I think. I mean, it took that long to watch it. It was because a friend thought I would like it. It wasn't as bad as I thought. It wasn't "Evil Dead" but ok.
Yes, I've seen them all! Hell, as a kid, I was a Lovecraft fan, so as soon as the advertisements came on back then and I saw the pictures of the Necronomicon, it was a MUST-see! lol that's when I ended up liking Bruce Campbell movies. To be honest, though, they were both low-budget movies. I liked
Awwwww, so cute! Just a harmless fluffy bunny wabbit lol ππ€£
with her father. I wish I could have told him to leave and never come back until he changes, but he is a mean and EXTREMELY vindictive twat. Believe me, it's not worth kicking him to the curb permanently, yet. Once we leave here and go back to Ireland, all bets are off.
himself because I do not, have never, and will never agree to what he says and how I didn't appreciate it. Then my hubby changed the subject really quickly. My brother's daughter, who is dating a black man by the way, had to sit and endure his words and keep her secret. She can't even be herself
their own states away from white Christians. He said he shouldn't have to live with those people and how unfair it was. I said that's not what this country was supposed to be about, even if I didn't agree with how things were back then. He told me I was the minority, and I said to keep that shit to
back, not just for our safety, but for theirs. He said none of our cultures mix and if people must live in the same country, then they're going to have to change the way they feel about it, and maybe the states should divide, and all POC and anyone in the LGBTAQ community and all non-Christians need
This entire world appears to have a sickness that's growing. My brother, whom I told you had issues, just sat in my living room yesterday and argued that POC and others, as he called them, "mental issues" need to keep themselves separate from everyone else. He said segregation needs to be brought
White Power, anti-immigrant, anti Muslim protests - In Melbourne one white power old lady (who's old enough to know better) tries to provoke an anti-fascist protester. (ABC - Scott Jewell) - That girl did really well!

Here's me playing it for all the reasons they wrote it, not for the reasons Trump tried to claim it for lol I loved their response to those who misinterpret their songs, so here's the lyrics for those who need to understand. www.youtube.com/watch?v=40Jm...
